Verdict
CHAMPERS ELYSEES was badly hampered in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket last time but is clear of these at the weights if back to her best. A Group 1 winner last term, Johnny Murtagh’s filly will appreciate this extra furlong. Shale has been unable to match last year’s victory in the Moyglare over 7f here though finished in front of Oodnadatta last time while Lovely Esteem and My Generation are the least exposed of Joseph O’Brien’s four runners. Sweet Molly Malone and Ballydoyle stablemate Woodland Garden finished well behind Solene Lilyette when the latter won a Listed race at Gowran recently with Emaniya third and Acanella and So I Told You further behind.
